EU Administrative Law

EU Administrative Law covers all dimensions of the administrative system in the EU and the principles of judicial review that apply in this area. Part I is entitled 'Foundations' and has two chapters, the first dealing with the historical development of the administrative system and administrative typology, the second dealing with the foundations of judicial review.

Part II, which has seven chapters, is entitled 'Administration and Law', the focus being on the different ways in EU policy is administered, and the role of law and politics therein. There are chapters on Crisis, Reform and Constitutionalization; Centralized Management; Shared Management; Comitology; Agencies; Open Method of Coordination; and Social Partners.

Part III has seventeen chapters, and is concerned with 'Law and Administration'. The precepts of judicial review are explicated, and set within the broader frame of the workings of the EU. The chapters are as follows: Courts; Access; Process; Transparency; Competence and Subsidiarity; Law, Fact and Discretion; Rights and Values; Equality; Legitimate Expectations and Legal Certainty; Proportionality I: EU; Proportionality II: Member States; Precautionary Principle; AI Systems and Automated Decision-Making; Internal Review and Appeal; Ombudsman; Judicial Remedies I: The EU; Judicial Remedies II: Member States.

The approach throughout the book is to provide accessible and informed analysis of the law (in terms of Treaty provisions, EU legislation, and case law), relevant documentation from EU institutions and national institutions, and related academic commentary.
